Abstract

The future of mining in South Africa is hotly contested. Wide-ranging views from multiple quarters rarely seem to intersect, placing emphasis on different questions without engaging in holistic debate. This book aims to catalyse change by gathering together fragmented views into unifying conversations. It highlights the importance of debating the future of mining in South Africa and for reaching consensus in other countries across the mineral-dependent globe. It covers issues such as the potential of platinum to spur industrialisation, land and dispossession on the platinum belt, the roles of the state and capital in mineral development, mining in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the experiences of women in and affected by mining since the late 19th century and mine worker organising: history and lessons and how post-mine rehabilitation can be tackled. It was inspired not only by an appreciation of South Africa's extensive mineral endowments, but also by a realisation that, while the South African mining industry performs relatively well on many technical indicators, its management of broader social issues leaves much to be desired. It needs to be deliberated whether the mining industry can play as critical a role going forward as it did in the evolution of the country's economy.

Abstract

La République démocratique du Congo est un scandale géologique. Elle renferme dans son sous-sol plusieurs minéraux stratégiques dont le cuivre, l’uranium, le cobalt, le colombo-tantalite (coltan), le diamant et l’or. Les fluctuations périodiques des marchés mondiaux des métaux et du cadre socio-politique du pays engendrent la nécessité de procéder, de temps à autres, à la révision du code minier et de ses mesures d’application. C’est dans ce contexte que l’ouvrage propose, sous une forme inédite, une démarche rationnelle pour répondre à cette préoccupation. Soucieux du contexte historique et du cadre socio-politique du moment, l’auteur rappelle en premier lieu les différentes législations minières d’époques précoloniale, coloniale et postcoloniale du pays jusqu’à ce jour, accompagnées d’annotations et de commentaires pour une meilleure compréhension de l’esprit du législateur. Ensuite, après avoir fait le bilan du passé et relevé les points forts et les point faibles de la situation présente, l’auteur propose une nouvelle méthodologie de travail et plusieurs recommandations pour l’élaboration des révisions futures du code minier. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à plusieurs acteurs du secteur minier congolais notamment les historiens, les géologues, les économistes, les ingénieurs, le secteur académique, les investisseurs miniers, les praticiens de droit, ainsi que les décideurs politiques.

Abstract

"A lively story of luck and perseverance in the building of a major mining company. A century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario's Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy--Norman Bell Keevil--went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil's son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada's largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, the mechanics of industry financing, and the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body--rock that holds valuable metals and minerals--and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. A detailed and revealing history of a company that he helped to grow and lead for many years, Norman Keevil's Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider's account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country."--

Abstract

Though predominantly on oil and gas law, this is nonetheless a veritable Reference Book on the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. It places before anyone interested in the oil and gas industry basic and critical oil and gas issues not in common circulation in existing texts on the subject. The book is arranged in such a chronological order, like reference books and dictionaries tend to be, that a lay person in going through it would now know how oil is explored and found, how oil fields may be onshore and offshore, how oil blocs are bidded for, how oil is drilled, including associated gas deposits, among others. The transportation of oil and gas, storage of oil and gas, refining of oil and processing of gas, marketing of oil and gas, the impact of oil and gas exploration, production and revenues on the Nigerian environment, politics and economy and a myriad of other issues are comprehensively covered. The book should prove most useful to the lawyer, petroleum geologist, petroleum engineer, policy makers, investors, local and international development agencies and bodies, lecturers and students specialising in wide ranging subjects as economics, development studies, engineering, management, public administration, insurance, marketing, accounting and finance.
